Ye Shubai sighed and, without trying to hide anything from Zhou Yuze, told him everything.

"I wasn't in good condition after the tribulation, so I found a place to recuperate, and that's when Lan Xi suddenly appeared."

"I glanced at her and she left, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"Later I saw her again at the city gate. She followed me at a distance, giving me a creepy smile."

"At the time, I just felt confused. Later, she still followed me and I couldn't shake her off. Even though there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on her, I was sure she was not an ordinary person, and she gave me a very dangerous feeling."

"So I had murderous intent, but it was only then that I realized something was wrong with my body. I couldn't bring myself to kill her, and I even developed inexplicable feelings for her. It was only then that she told me that she had used the Fiery Heart Gu on me, and that if she died, I would die too. As for how she used the Gu or when she used it, I had no idea."

Ye Sisi found it absurd. Were all the Gu clans in the cultivation world this strange and domineering? This was even more bizarre than the Cursed Spirit Sect.

How could a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage be poisoned by a seemingly harmless little girl without even realizing it?

Zhou Yuze asked again, "How long have you been under the influence of the Gu poison?"

Ye Shubai glanced at him and calmly said, "One day."

"That's alright. If it had been more than seven days, and the Blazing Heart Gu had completely merged with your soul, you would have been tormented for the rest of your life."

Ye Sisi's eyes lit up: "Fellow Daoist Yuze, do you have a solution?"

"Of course I don't. I'm not one of those guys who play with Gu. But I know that as long as the Blazing Heart Gu is taken back by the master before it completely merges with the original body, it can still be saved."

"But you don't need to be too nervous. The Blazing Heart Gu will not only make the person who is afflicted with the Gu loyal to love, but also the person who cast the Gu. You are really in the same boat. Think about it from another perspective, you have gained a devoted and unwavering wife for free. Doesn't that seem like a great deal?"

Ye Sisi...

Why did she find Zhou Yuze's words so reasonable? Her fourth senior brother seemed to be getting on in years.

No, no, she can't be led astray. Can love be forced? This is banditry! If she likes her fourth senior brother, she should just pursue him. If they love each other, they can willingly eat this Blazing Heart Gu, but this is definitely not how you forcibly kidnap them.

She's never been in a relationship, but she's watched a lot of TV dramas and read a lot of novels. At the very least, some of her classmates have had early relationships, so love is definitely not like that.

"Fourth Senior Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Shubai thought for a moment, then shook his head, and then nodded.

Lin Shuangluo was getting anxious: "What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head like that? Fine, I'll go drag that shameless guy in here. If he doesn't get rid of that curse on you, I'll... I'll..."

Ye Sisi quickly pulled Lin Shuangluo to sit down. Given Ye Shubai's personality, it's impossible that she hadn't considered asking Lan Xi to remove the curse from her, but it had obviously failed.

Besides, their lives are intertwined. Even if someone else is dragged into this, what can be done? At most, they'll get a beating.

Ye Sisi reached out and touched Ye Shubai's forehead: "Fourth Senior Brother, relax."

Ye Shubai nodded, then closed his eyes, completely exposing his consciousness to Ye Sisi.

Zhou Yuze was stunned. He seemed to have underestimated the bond between these people.

Ye Sisi examined Ye Shubai's soul inch by inch, but found nothing.

So she gritted her teeth and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, don't resist."

She withdrew her finger from Ye Shubai's brow, her hands moving rapidly to form various complex hand seals while she chanted incantations.

The next moment, Ye Shubai's soul was forcibly pulled out of his body by her.

Not to mention Lin Shuangluo, even Zhou Yuze, who prided himself on being knowledgeable, stared wide-eyed. What kind of method was this, that it could forcibly pull the soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator out of his body?

Ignoring their shock, Ye Sisi carefully observed Ye Shubai's soul.

Suddenly, a white light flashed in her eyes, and Ye Sisi's right hand became ethereal, swiftly reaching into the chest of Ye Shubai's soul body.

Lin Shuanglu was terrified. When did her junior sister acquire such abilities? She looked so ruthless.

The next moment, Ye Sisi slowly pulled her hand out, pinching a small insect emitting a faint red glow between her transparent fingers.

The insect is about the size of a thumb and looks somewhat like a ladybug, but it only has one spot on its shell.

Ye Shubai's expression twisted, and he looked extremely pained.

Lan Xi, who had been standing at the door of the private room staring intently at it, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, her rosy cheeks turning deathly pale in an instant.

Shock appeared on her face. The Blazing Heart Gu had been fed with her heart's blood since she was born, and it was impossible to remove the Gu from anyone who was afflicted.

As the current Holy Maiden of the Gu Clan, she was well aware of her tribe's methods.

Since they cultivated the Blazing Heart Gu, no one has ever been able to unravel it. So what's going on now? Could it be that he's in danger?

Ye Sisi held the Blazing Heart Gu in her hand, her brows furrowing slightly. She could crush this annoying insect to death, but her fourth senior brother would also suffer some backlash.

Her eyes suddenly lit up. This Gu was actually a special kind of energy. Although she didn't understand why a Gu worm could make someone fall deeply in love, since it was energy, could it be assimilated by her power of purification?

Without hesitation, she used her Purifying Power to envelop the Blazing Heart Gu and then slowly eroded it.

Ye Shubai's expression was no longer so painful, and then it slowly returned to calm.

Just then, the door to the private room was banged on loudly.

Ye Sisi refined the last bit of red residue completely, and then with a wave of her hand, sent Ye Shubai's soul back.

At the same time, the knocking stopped.

Lin Shuanglu hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Junior Sister, what about the person outside?"

Ye Sisi looked at Ye Shubai, who was slowly opening his eyes: "What do you think, Fourth Senior Brother?"

Ye Shubai's expression was calm, without a trace of his usual shyness: "Of course, we'll kill him."

None of them objected, and Lin Shuangluo directly opened the barrier and dragged Lan Xi, who was pale and barely alive, inside.

When Lan Xi saw Ye Shubai sitting there completely unharmed, her eyes widened in horror. It was true... there really was someone who could cure the Blazing Heart Gu. How could this be possible?

Ye Shubai's expression was complicated when he saw Lan Xi like this. Why would she go to such lengths for love?

He didn't make any more moves. Lan Xi's life force had almost completely dissipated, so there was no need to create more nickel sand for him. Well, he was still very kind.
